• Project DIVE (Diversity, Inclusion, and Valuing Equity)

    Project DIVE provides programs, services, learning experiences, and opportunities that celebrate diversity and promote greater inclusion and equity for all members of the LaGuardia community. Project DIVE strives to foster a more inclusive and culturally competent campus environment where students feel a strong sense of belonging and where their similarities and differences of identity and experience are acknowledged, understood, valued, and celebrated.

    Through collaboration with various college departments and students, we provide experiential learning activities and services that educate and empower students, faculty, and staff. Project DIVE seeks to explore the complex intersection of our social identities such as race, gender, sexual orientation, class, and spiritual diversity.





    Featured Initiatives



  • Affinity Celebrations
    Project DIVE is committed to promoting an inclusive university environment by acting as an educational resource that prepares students to succeed in a heterogeneous and constantly evolving society. During the academic year, Project DIVE in collaboration with various departments and student groups will promote a variety of programs that will celebrate our diverse community.

    At LaGuardia, we have a unique academic calendar and would like to make sure that all affinity months are celebrated during those respective months, but we would also like to extend beyond those months in order to provide these programs when we have larger groups of students and faculty on campus.
